8th Graders & Parents:
Please plan to attend Freshman Scheduling Night in the WHS Auditorium on Wednesday, March 4 at 6:30 pm. Students and parents will hear all about the transition from junior high to high school and begin the process of submitting course requests for next year. If for some reason you are unable to attend, please review the information on the Scheduling page of Mrs. Chumley's website, and contact her at dchumley@winchesterschools.net with any questions.
If you are giving please make sure you get eight hours of sleep and eat a hearty (eggs, meat, leafy greens, fruit) evening and morning meal. To help stabilize your blood pressure, drink lots of water (and minimize caffeine). Your body will lose about two cups of fluid during donation, so being fully hydrated is important. (Per Impact Life website)
Thank you to those who have signed up but there are still some open slots.
